THIS IS THE CHORD PROGRESSION OF THE CHRISTMAS SONG “LAST CHRISTMAS” BY WHAM! ON PIANO, GUITAR UKULELE AND KEYBOARD.
[Chorus]
D
Last Christmas I gave you my heart Bm
But the very next day you gave it away Em
This year to save me from tears A
I’ll give it to someone special

[Verse 1] D
Once bitten and twice shy Bm
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Em
Tell me baby do you recognize me? A
Well it’s been a year it doesn’t surprise me
D
I wrapped it up and sent it Bm
With a note saying “I love you” I meant it Em
Now I know what a fool I’ve been A
But if you kissed me now I know you’d fool me again
[Verse 2]
D
A crowded room friends with tired eyes Bm
I’m hiding from you and your soul of ice Em
My god I thought you were someone to rely on A
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
[Verse 3]
D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart Bm
A man under cover but you tore me apart Em
Now I’ve found a real love (now I’ve found) A
You’ll never fool me again
D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart Bm
A man under cover buy you tore him apart Em
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone A
I’ll give it to someone special
